    What is the NMO antenna for. I’ve looked it up and found references to cell phone boosters but didn’t really see much other than signal booster kits.

    hey guys, sorry to resurrect this old thread but i am trying to get a camera for my bed and pulling a trailer. i was interested in the evil manufacturing camera system and 3rd brake light but it seems like they went out of business? does anyone know where i can get something like what they used to manufacture? ive got the kenwood deck and an extra camera input port. thanks

    The only lights that they installed were the tiny LEDs with a projection lens over them. I have a replacement and they are just bolt LEDs like these

    Yeah my reds were getting condensation. No issues with the condensation though, probably will go away during hotter weather.

    They are definitely solid. I think however, my PC is bubbling in a couple areas, not enough to start flaking though.

    New England destroys these powder coated products.

    Haven’t done anything to it yet since everything still in tact. May be an option though if I take it out.

    It’s held on by black RTV, wonder if it’ll be a pita to remove. @reywcms

    Yeah it does, not my photo but it’s what I followed to splice the 3rd brake light with the BD S2 to the factory harness.

    Although mine only turns on when doors open and when brake pedal is pressed. I think the raptors has another wire for DRL.

    Would’ve been nice to have backlight to it though!

    I have mine setup as running lights to go with the front 3 amber lights, so when the trucks turns on they automatically stay on.IMG_0260.jpg IMG_0259.jpgIMG_0256.jpg

    You ran an additional wire from the 3rd brake light to IGN fuse?

    Dang, didn’t think of that. I remember there was an additional wire in the housing, but I think I twisted them together.
